Henry Matisse: Drawing with Scissors (Smart About Art Series)

She finds out that over his long career Matisse made paintings, sculpture, books, costumes, and her favorite—his cut-outs, or what Matisse called “drawing with scissors.” The report is filled with about 20 of Matisse’s masterpieces as well as artwork that Keesia has created in his “style” such as cut-out leaves, drawings through windows, and fauvist animals. As she follows Matisse through his life she discovers why he is considered one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. Ages 5 and up. Other titles available in the Smart About Art Series.
